Those 19th century Belle Époque travelers had it right. When life felt heavy and corsets too tight, they came to Lake Geneva for fresh air and a little R&R at the spa. This itinerary follows their luxurious lead. From lakeside bike rides to spa afternoons to vineyard walks, every day is designed for you to slow down and indulge, too.

Some trips are about seeing the sights. This one’s about feeling the past come alive. Wander dusty Roman forums. Bike along the ancient Appian Way. Sip a spritz next to submerged ruins on the Sorrentine coast. With each stop, the layers of Italy’s history unfold in places both expected and hidden. This 7-day Italy itinerary is for travelers who find beauty in the broken and meaning in what came before. The past? Unearthed. The pace? Unhurried. The path? Unforgettable.

Think you need two weeks to experience the “real” Emerald Isle? Think again. This three-day Ireland itinerary offers a spirited taste in one long weekend. Tap your toes to live music in Kilkenny, trace the cobbled charm of Dublin, and spend a day chasing legends in the ancient countryside. Designed for couples or a small group of friends, it’s fast-paced, fun-filled, and full of heart. The rest can wait. Ireland’s calling.

Traveling with wee bairns? Definitely for bravehearts. Luckily, this five-day Scotland itinerary skips the “stand and stare” stops in favor of hands-on adventures that spark curiosity and invite play. Explore the seaside in St. Andrews. Walk the Highlands where legends still linger. Climb the ancient stones of Hadrian’s Wall. Two bus tours add ease without sacrificing energy, with plenty of chances to roam, wonder, and wander. Spend precious family time in a place where history feels alive and magic lingers in the mist.
